    Back in the day there WAS a Linux version of the FDS (known as the LFDS) but since nobody used it scripts.dll stopped supporting it a long long time ago

    I know I actually got it running on a modern fedora. It's a shame though windows has so much overhead.

    Last time I heard EA were refusing to put CnC games onto Steam since they were busy trying to ram Origin down everyones throats. Guess they had a change of heart at some point. Doesn't really change the fact that we don't actually own the CnC IP though. I rather think EA would take a dim view on us listing our games on Steam.

    I think the CnC games on steam were grandfathered in along with several other EA games.  

    Same reason you can buy ME 1 and 2 but not 3 on steam. I think 2010 games an earlier are still on steam but not much after.

    IIRC EA didn't like Valves DLC policy.

  2. I've said it before but there is a reason the renegade grenadier uses a grenade launcher.

     

    I think the best solution was merging the soviet grenadier and rpg trooper. It's a shame that it wasn't very popular.

    Every year you guys make this thread.

    Every year you forget to add an actual end boss level to APB.

    This displeases me.

    Edit: Anyone remember that Sole Survivor mod for Renegade from a decade ago, the one with the players-versus-bots map where you had this large room with doors and progressively harder bot waves came out of them with some randomness to them? Top it off with some crazy 'boss' unit, and that could be quite hilarious in APB. It's the same mod that had "defend the AI MCV convoy" as a game mode, it was pretty unique, but never gained the momentum that APB or Reborn did during those days.

    You should try out bear island

     

    My end boss is pretty self explanatory 

  4. For me it's a combination of having less time do to adulthood. I have a 9-5 with travel it's more of a 8-6 and an 18th month old. I know how to use the tools and while I've never created content to delta standards I do understand how it's done. And the second for me is simply not having the tools work properly (3ds max) on windows 10, this kills any motivation I still have. I don't have an easy way to switch back to windows 7 just for one program.

  5. I came into this thread planning on suggesting the rocket solider and grenadier be combined, but it seems that pushwall has already considered this and is experimenting with it.

    I’m not going to pretend I have a good grasp on the overlap and strengths/weakness of the current soviet infantry. However, I’ve always imagined the flame trooper as a anti infantry unit and the grenadier as the counter part of the allied rocket solider. When the actual soviet rocket trooper was added, I felt like he could have just as well been a rebranded grenadier with a grenade launcher.

    No, because back then they ruined infantry combat. Maps where war factories were down and you couldn't do pretty much anything in terms of assaulting the enemy base because a sniper appeared and went NOPE.avi to your assault. Then there was the typical sniper kill whore who refused to buy anything or help the team in proper ways apart from just kill whoring.

     

    It was even worse when the SVD was statistically different from the Enfield, I liked how the SVD was different but the Allied one was an instant kill, the Soviets might as well have just given up.

    Pretty much this. Though I'm not afraid to admit that I enjoyed sniping pre-Delta, this is what thinned out servers. The winning team usually ended up prolonging an already one-sided game (depending on who had the more skilled players, of course), causing players from the losing team to just leave the game (and probably not rejoin after a while because of said prolonged game). And lol, Beta SVD...

     

    Hey the beta SVD was a fun challenge!

     

    But yeah as much as I liked sniping in beta, I agree.
